This is Preventive Care? Eye health screenings and your health insurance plan, @med_writer #healthinsurance:"My new health insurance plan, issued by Anthem Blue Cross, covers certain preventive care services. One is an annual eye health screening. I just had my annual eye exam done by my eye doctor who is an in-network provider. So I’m eligible to order more contact lenses, I am required by law to have my eyes examined once a year.

Yesterday I received a phone call from my eye doctor’s office. They submitted my claim for my eye exam and let me know that Anthem Blue Cross denied it. I was told that annual eye exams, according to my health insurance company, are “eye chart vision screenings” performed by my primary care physician at my annual well-woman visit."
